Threat of Thassarian is a Frost death knight talent.

Notes

  • This is a key passive that makes dual wielding viable for death knights. Normally only the main hand weapon is taken in to account for abilities that deal damage based on weapon damage, such as [Frost Strike] and [Obliterate], severely reducing their damage when dual wielding instead of using a 2-hander. This passive 'fixes' that problem for frost death knights.
  • This talent refers to Thassarian, the first death knight to rejoin the Alliance.
